Trait Serialize

pub trait Serialize {
    type Error: Error + From<Error>;

    // Required method
    fn serialize<W: Write>(&self, writer: W) -> Result<(), Self::Error>;

    // Provided method
    fn serialize_as_vec(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, Self::Error> { ... }
}

Define that an object can be written to a Write object.

Required Associated Types

type Error: Error + From<Error>

Required Methods

fn serialize<W: Write>(&self, writer: W) -> Result<(), Self::Error>

Provided Methods

fn serialize_as_vec(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, Self::Error>

Convenience method to serialize into a byte vector.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.

Implementations on Foreign Types
